Fucked up minimal rendition of Leaonard Cohen’s “Songs From a Room”, all in order, cover art duplicated, etc. Interesting sparse percussion and acoustic guit work. Twisted, bent, psycho, whacked- all those hipster labels apply. Cohen’s songs remain unphased. Cool as hell. Pick your favorite original and push “start”.

1) min guit, sounds, vibrato vocs
2) gravelly voice, Tom Waits feel fer sure w/ perc etc
3) slide guit centered, spacey sounds
4) trippy efx, almost psyche
5) sparser
6) almost Cohen feeling w/ guit, still electronics fuck w/ it nicely
7) super bent
8) lost of high freq electronics over echoey guit+vocs
9) truer to form, less echoey and fucked up, almost a true acoustic cover, nice touches
10) banjo and guit, less echoey
